Environment and I

The careof the environment isa topic thatat least inChile, only recentlyhas been giventheimportanceand urgencyit deserves. Evencreated the Ministryof the Environment,which has actuallybeen change into theCONAMA (National Environment Commission) that has been assignednew rolesand beenrenamed,but this is notfor nowthe focusof attention.

Where do people learn about enviromentally friendly practices? Have now been incorporated into the information content of education which realizes the importance of the environment and care, but I think not taught practices, actions or manner of care.

Some time agoI do not usea bikeoftenbecause I have nobike inSantiago,but still walked a lot.AndalsoI have nocar, only use it whennecessaryfor my work.

I have neverjoinedor supporteddirectly or withmoney to anyeco-organization, but I am aware oftheir reports, news, or recommendationson waysto conserve andprotect the environment, to live ina sustainable world.

WhatI do iseco-bricks, garbagedepositedin authorized placesonlyand do not throwgarbage on the streetfor example,no matter how smallthewaste,separatingcardboard, plasticand glasstrash.

The activities or actions that I do to reduce my carbon footprint is to eat healthy, especially fruits, exercising consistently, taking care of water resources and energy, above all, use as little gas as possible. What I would like to do is create a recycling company, so working to build a sustainable world, while generating economic resources. Recycle all waste from the food courts.
